Welcome to Gospel Truth with Andrew Wame, a teaching ministry emphasizing God's unconditional love and grace.

This special live teaching on the authority of the believer was recorded at

our 2019 Orlando Gospel Truth Conference. And now here's Andrew. Although God would have been just to come down and kill Lucifer,

he would have also had to have killed us

because we are the ones that empowered him. We gave him that

power and authority. In a sense it's like when a person goes into a bank to

rob it and all you've got is a gun, but there's guards around with machine guns and they've got superior power.

How do you overcome this superior power?

You go in and take a hostage and you say, you touch me and I'll kill them and even though they've got more power than you

they will allow you to escape because you have a hostage and they don't want to kill the

hostage. In a sense this is what Satan did.

He came and said, God, you kill me,

you're going to have to kill them because they willingly,

of their own free will, they gave me this authority and power.

And because of God's great love for us,

he didn't destroy the devil.

And he allowed Satan to become the God of this world and he allowed all of these things.

Actually, we're the ones that allowed it. He gave us control and it was our choice and we created the devil and God

allowed our decision.

And I'm gonna share, I won't have time today

but sometime tomorrow, I will share with you

how this is why it took 4,000 years for Jesus to come on. with you
